Statins have earned a reputation lately as a wonder drug. Not only do they protect against heart disease by controlling the amount of cholesterol the liver churns out, but they can also dampen the inflammatory flare-ups that contribute to everything from arthritis to heart attacks. Early studies even hint that statins may also work on the plaques and tangles that cause Alzheimer's disease. But all drugs have their limits. An analysis of 12 trials found that patients who had taken statins within two weeks of having a heart attack or angina did not reduce their risk of dying...
...tremendous variety of pieces. Brettman, Keller and Kenney juxtapose the classics of dance with radically modern pieces that have transformed and reinvented these influences. The unusual sequencing of the show is rarely jarring, and creates interesting connections between the pieces and their themes—connections that hint at the fundamental contradictions within American history itself...
Body talk is relevant here, because it's the most obvious hint that Casino Royale means to be a very different Bond movie. The 21st in the official series produced by the Broccoli family (two others--a spoof called Casino Royale and a freelance Sean Connery opus, Never Say Never Again--were made outside the fold), this one tries to rejuvenate a 44-year-old franchise that was showing signs of tired blood and losing its appeal to the young-male action-film demographic.

Seeing Arkley isn't as easy as his work makes it look. His distinctive "after-spray" outlines over fields...
...even deeper into the pockets of its faithful riders. Given the large number of students living and traveling in and around Boston, it is unclear exactly who the MBTA thinks is in a position to help solve its financial problems by paying increased fares. Here’s a hint: It’s not students. We have even less money than they do, and it is unfair to expect us and other Boston-area residents to pick up the tab for poorly conceived expansion projects that were often opposed in the first place...
